Back then they were called, "charity schools" businesses and the wealthy actually built them because it was the right thing to do and good community relations.

Now days we have forced "charity" and most of it goes to those not in need.

Does not every high school grad deserve a colledge education.

No. You would not believe the number of job applicants we get who have a HS diploma and can't read or do basic math. So you want me to pay for them to goof off another eight years?

Dumbest idea of the day but hey, the day is still young.

I think a more immediate concern would be pointless vanities.

This is not fair to those not considered poor.

Oh, you want to talk about what's fair.

Is it fair that people who don't have children or whose children have completed school decades ago are still paying school property taxes? Is it fair that a family with 5 kids crammed into a house pays the same school property taxes as their neighbor who only has two kids? Is it fair to extort money from every property owner in the town/county to pay for school sports teams when only a few dozen kids can participate?

Let each family pay for their own. Help those families which can't via low interest loans (heck, have the loan rate tied to inflation if you'd like). When families are spending their own money costs will come down and quality will go up.

Socialism in education is not the end but the beginning of fair taxation and rebalancing the education field.

Oh Yea, this is gonna go downhill form here. You're gonna get just a little opposition after a stupid statement like this.

Weren't you just bitching about how you're getting unfairly taxed by bonds for schools?! And then you come out for socialistic taxation for them. wow.....
